I've always been a huge Christian mark. He can work a match with anyone and play either face or heel. Great charisma and mic work. I really don't see a weakness.

I will most probably get ripped to pieces for this, but I think Christian falls into the Benoit category. Obviously completely different wrestlng styles and gimmicks and mic skills, but what I mean is the position in the company/roster.

Christian is a great mid-carder, might get a token world title, then slip back into mid-card. He puts on good matches, he is excellent on the mic, but some quality that I don't understand is lacking.

Don't get me wrong, I would have preferred Christian win the MitB and steal the title off Y2J instead of Swagger... That would have been great, and had some back-story, but oppurtunity lost. I don't want him to get the title now.

I used to think that Y2J fit into this category as well, but he managed to get a few world titles in his latest run and look comfortable in the role.

Also, I liked Xero's previous signature pic more...

a) Therein lies the rub- if Jericho never got the push, everyone would be saying the same thing about him. "He's overrated by the IWC." "He's midcard at best." "He doesn't have *it* to be world champion." Same for CM Punk, since at his WWECW debeut, he was just some "overrated indy guy". Even moreso for former reality TV star Miz, and he is the fucking champion right now!

Give Christian a decent push and a reason for fans to care and he has the ability to get over and become the believable champion us Peeps want to see!

b) Doesn't matter, just about any picture of Daffney is a good thing.

a) I get what you're saying, but Y2J, Miz and CM Punk all got an early run with the belt. I can't think of any wrestlers recently that have had their first title late in their career and been kept in the main event spot. By all means, post away, I just can't think of an example.

b)



But yeah, she's hella hot compared to my memories of her from WCW!

a) Regal comes to mind, but he fucked that up himself. Anyway, I just used those guys as examples. An easier example would have been to use Edge. What if Vince saw *it* in Christian instead of Edge? Methinks we would be having this conversation about Adam Copeland instead.

b) ... hence why I said "just about" any pic of Daffney. I especially dug her in WCW sans all the screaming, and I marked out when she first appeared in the crowd @ TNA as part of that "Awesome Kong Open Invitational".

Regal? Really? I must have not been watching then...

I think Edge would have made it in the end. First world title and feud aside, I think he made that spot for himself rather than being selected for it. I couldn't see Edge going to TNA, which is in my opinion the larget strike against why Christian won't get a world title. If only they had given Christian the spot when he was feuding with Cena...

I liked that picture. So am I right in thinking that not only do you not like girls who cut their tongues, but you don't like girls who scream?

I am saddened
